This unassuming pile of rocks just about qualifies as an island,
in a country that's awash with them. It lies just off the mainland,
near a city that was once a powerful maritime state, with fleets of
merchant ships that roamed as far as London and Goa and consulates
in more than 50 ports. This republic lasted the best of part of 500
years, growing fat on its wealth, until it was beaten into
submission by Napoleon. In the 20th century, despite
being immersed in the Cold War, it became a fashionable anchorage
for celebrities such as Wallis Simpson, Goldie Hawn, Richard Burton
and Elizabeth Taylor. The one building you can see in the picture
is a lighthouse, which was built in 1872, but whose presence didn't
help an Italian ship during the war, which hit a mine and sank
here, providing an interesting wreck for divers. The lighthouse can
now be rented out as a holiday home, for those who want absolute
privacy - the only other inhabitants on the island are a few
yellow-legged gulls. Where are
you?

The answer to this competition is Grebeni
Lighthouse, Croatia.

The answer to the November 2015 Where are you competition
was Valle de la Luna, Bolivia. Michael Hall from
Essex got it correct to win a five-night stay at Emirates Palace in
Abu Dhabi and return flights from the UK.
